Lock Picking is the final character skill in Hidden & Dangerous 2. It is arguably the least used character skill.
Lock picking will determine how effectively a character can pry a locked door open. While actual lock picking is not effected by this character skill, the percentage of lock picking skill a player has will determine how fast the character can perform this action.
To increase the lock picking skill, the character will have to pick locks on locked doors during missions. Note that not all doors, even though they can be interacted with, can be pried open.
